Why You’ll Love This Recipe!
I love using my slow cooker any day of the week but my favorite day to use my slow cooker is on Sunday. We go to church for three hours on Sunday so I love to put something in the slow cooker first thing in the morning. Then when we get home and are ready to eat about 3:00 p.m. dinner is ready! Sunday is suppose to be a day of rest and this slow cooker Parmesan honey pork roast helps it be more restful.
This recipe uses a pork loin roast. One of the things I love about pork is it relatively inexpensive, so it is easy on the budget. My husband loves pork roast and one of my girls is allergic to red meat, so we eat a lot of pork.
Ingredients Needed
- Boneless pork loin roast
- Parmesan cheese
- Honey
- Soy sauce
- Dried basil
- Dried oregano
- Garlic
- Olive oil

Is a pork Loin Roast the same as Pork Tenderloin.
The short answer is no, they are two different cuts of meat. Pork Loin is wider and thicker with a fat layer on top, while Pork Tenderloin is long and thin. If you can’t find a Pork loin roast I suggest using a boneless pork shoulder, pork butt or picnic roast.

I have. 4lb bone in pork loin roast. Would that work for this recipe?
Jennifer says
A huge hit with my husband and son. They are very picky eaters and stated that this dish was fantastic. Needless to say, this will be made again.
JeanneMarie Ginn says
Looks yummy! My daughter is allergic to soy beans (therefore soy sauce). Think it would be okay without the soy sauce? She’s also allergic to cow’s milk, so I guess that means no Parmesan cheese either (or maybe I’ll just put it on one half?). Thanks for any help you can provide!
Leigh Anne says
I have never made it without the soy sauce so I”m not sure but definitely worth trying. I would substitute it with beef broth
You could use Pecorino cheese instead of Parmesan, it is a hard cheese like parmesan but not made from cow’s milk but from ewe’s milk
Michelle says
There’s a substitute, coconut aminos. Tastes/cooks like soy sauce but without soy! I think it’s in the soy sauce section.
Maddi Napier says
I just want to say that we tried this recipe last night and it was by far the best pork dish I’ve ever eaten (including dishes I’ve prepared and dishes I’ve eaten out). It was perfectly moist and flavorful—really fantastic recipe. Thanks for sharing this–we will certainly be making this again and I’ll check out your other recipes Leigh Anne!
Debbie says
My pork was dry. I’m not sure what I did wrong. It was still yuumy.
Leigh Anne says
Debbie, I’m wondering how big your roast was? If it was smaller than the recipe called for it might have gotten overcooked, thus causing it to be dry. Glad you still enjoyed it.
